Access keys consist of an access key ID and secret access key, which
are used to sign programmatic requests that you make to AWS. If you don't
have access keys, you can create them from the AWS Management Console.
We recommend that you use IAM access keys
instead of AWS account root user access keys. IAM lets you securely control
access to AWS services and resources in your AWS account.

The only time that you can view or download the secret access keys is when you create
the keys. You cannot recover them later. However, you can create new access keys at
any time. You must also have permissions to perform the
required IAM actions. For more information, see
Delegating Permissions to Administer IAM Users, Groups, and Credentials in the IAM User Guide.

To see the new access key, choose Show. Your
credentials will look something like this:

Access key ID: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE

Secret access key: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

To download the key pair, choose Download .csv file. Store the keys
in a secure location.

Keep the keys confidential in order to protect your account, and never email
them. Do not share them outside your organization, even if an inquiry
appears to come from AWS or Amazon.com. No one who legitimately
represents Amazon will ever ask you for your secret key.
